Category: Saab 9-3 II Sport Forum

Unfortunately, I have to admit that three months ago I separated from my Saab Cab and bought a 3 cup Cab, but nevertheless I am still interested in Saab in my heart. I notice, however, that there are no more big activities to be recorded here What’s going on? Here there were always very high-level discussions at a high technical level.

The following problem with my Aero Cabriolet: I measured the profile depth of my summers today, as well as winter tyres. I found that there is always a difference of 2 milimeters in both summer and winter tyres at the front right!I have three tyres with 6mm profile and one with just 4mm Furthermore, the car pulls continuously slightly to the left.The master says sawtooth and your…. PS:I only have 19000 km on the clock, a shock absorber should be the same not be after yes.

Hello together, since my better half and I plan to “extend” our togetherness in the near future is also about short or long the purchase of a somewhat more spacious and above all 4-door car. Basically I am very satisfied with my Golf V Gti, the big problem on the matter are the two doors, the absolutely arrogant workshops with their imaginable employees AND that I just really like Saab because these cars just don’t find everywhere s ind and also visually my taste fully meet. Well, I was already on the road in the Volvo Forum, but the engines between 150 and 200 Ps didn’t really convince me. My question: What about the service intervals for the 2.0 turbo models (210Ps or 175Ps (in Austria) or the 1.8t (150PS)? Does the oil have to be changed every year or is there a kind of “longlife service” like with the VAG models? Are the current models still experiencing problems with sludgeing the oil, etc. on? At what time is an oil change required for the automatic transmissions? Are these three motors equipped with timing belts or chain, if the former, which alternating intervals are provided for? In which consumption regions do the three mentioned motors move? Does one playfully indicate the consumption values Saab or is this an absolutely impossible scenario? Does anyone know when the “new” 9-3 should see the light of the world? First of all, many thanks for the information, a curious he “GTI”Chris P.S.: the diesel engines are out of the question for me.

Hello together, I saw today a 9-3ss Aero with wooden package in the interior. Strangely, I found that the wood around the shift knob was probably poplar wood (brown) while the wooden steering wheel shimmered clearly reddish brown. Were there 2 different wood types installed or shimmers the poplar wood reddish in the sun. The reddish brown I liked quite well, however, then I would like to have a uniform wood color! How much would a wooden package (Lenkrad console around circuit, … probably Zube until recently there was the design package Classic for 150 Euro (Cabrio), which I would have ordered, but unfortunately not anymore. The steering wheel stands with about 500 Euro in the price list. Many regards Celeste

Hello guys, can you lift the seats in the front, like with 9-5? I like the seats of my old 9-5 BJ99 really good. They actually show no real wear (just a few damages of jeans rivets etc.) Now I have sat in the 9-3 (because soon a new – of course Saab – must be here). But the seats and the dashboard did not like at all. How can I see with the durability and the “long distance comfort” of r Sitting out? Thank you for your information Manfred

Someone spent his time with me in the engine room chewing on the small insulation mat. The little stuff found itself down in the plastic pit. Question: Does it matter and can you continue driving like this, or should you let it change, because for example, further risk of dissolution, fire risk, what does the vulture know… And what moon price will this mat probably cost at Saab?

Hello, I once wanted to ask the Saab experts for advice: I would like to buy a Saab 9-3 Sport Combi, because the car looks just awesome and can also be driven really pleasantly. I now got an offer that looks like this: Motor: 1,9TTID with 179hp Aero Automatic, BI-Xenon, standing heating, adaptive curve light, 2-zone climate control, electric driver’s seat, premium leather black, seat heating front + rear, sound system BOSE, AUX connection, Bluetooth, 8 x airbag , telephone preparation with Bluetooth, factory warranty, leather steering wheel, multifunction steering wheel, shift paddles on the steering wheel, electric exterior mirror, mirror electrically foldable, a large NAvi is also included… NP: € 52t. The car is at the end of 2007 and has 12tkm…. Price: 24.500,- What can you tell me about this offer? Is the price justified? Can you tell me what the retrofitted DPF has on it? Did Saab not have a DPF at the end of 2007? a, about restriction of the dealer network? Would I be happy if you could give me a few tips… am until now only VW and Skoda driver. Greetings

Hello Saab pilots, after which I decided to have my “old” hands-free device installed in the new Saab, I auditioned to the friendly Saab dealer. He said he could install a Bluetooth device for the price of 380,00€ (mark is not known to me now). I didn’t want to know either, because then I still have to load my phone at the cigarette lighter, which one does not have with a “classic” device. Then I asked him a cost before”ansc How can that be? Okay for the old I need the Saab holder, the cable and an antenna for the disc (because the shark is just a dummy). Am I right in assuming that I have to pick it up at exactly the same places on the wire harness as with the “old” so that everything runs on the radio? Then where does the so different price come from? With 150-200€ I would still be able to make a I also asked a telecommunications specialist dealer with an installation workshop who would like to have 140,00€ incl. antenna + holder for the installation. There I also had my old Saab equipped with the hands-free device, but at that time there was a preparation kit in the car. My question is whether a non-Saab specialist (but car communication specialist) can do this with a proper result? Does anyone have experience with it? Thank you very much.

Good day, can now finally call a Saab 2.2 Tid my own. After I checked the vehicle for the whole weekend at heart I can say that the purchase has been more than worthwhile. I was surprised most by the excellent handling. The only disappointment so far are the Xenon lights, which I was really looking forward to because of the enthusiastic comments in this forum. I just feel uncomfortable during the night driving – contrary to me in the ancient predecessor car Golf 3 I find that the road is lit much worse. Especially in sweeps and when recognizing road signs I find it difficult. The car dealer said that one simply has to get used to the light color of the xenons – what I think is humbug – because every headlight produces more light. 🙂 When I park in front of a shop window the xenons appear much weaker than with any other car with conventional light. m the lamp on the driver’s side seems to me to be even weaker than the one on the passenger side. Is that normal? Or do xenon lights become weaker over time? (the car is 5 years old). Could it be that the left light was affected in a possible accident of the previous owner? Or are the lamps simply too low? Rejoice me on stimulating answers! Greeting gummerer
